A Guatemalan father filed a lawsuit against two nonprofits housing migrant children, claiming his 10-year-old son was given “powerful psychotropic drugs” without parental consent and sexually assaulted by another child during his time in government custody
.
The boy was taken into custody when he and his father were separated at the United States-Mexico border in February 2018, the suit alleges. The child was first taken to a shelter run by Southwest Key in Arizona, where he remained until June, and then taken to Shiloh, south of Houston. His father was deported to Guatemala in April.
A spokesperson for Southwest Key said the most serious allegations in the lawsuit were not directed at its shelter. Shiloh referred questions to the Administration for Children and Families, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.
